Reseñas editoriales
Storyteller McBride-Smith delivers witty versions of Greek myths, mostly ones that relate to goddesses, in a clear, plain Southwest accent and delightful Texas twang. She spins the tales of Demeter, Persephone, Athena, and Medusa with Texas style. Remarkably expressive, she vocalizes her work in a distinctive comic style.

This was a very enjoyable listen. The characters really come alive with the authors style and words. It is an excellent way to relearn some of the Greek myths.

It's Not Easy Being a Goddess
Fun approach to mythology but I got tired of the cuteness. I did listen to the whole thing, however.
